Fluid Dynamics in Sports

The aim of this Topical Collection is to gather the most recent advances in sports fluid dynamics, both in terms of improvement of the knowledge on the topic and on new fluid dynamic solutions for athletes’ performance, equipment, clothing, and safety. This collection wants to provide a valuable reference on sports fluid dynamics for scientists, equipment manufacturers, athletes, and governing bodies.
